  1. New grad/bad economy, bend over and take it?

    I agree with rntim49. My own experience has been that I graduated from nursing school in May of 2009. Soon after taking the nclex I landed a per diem position as a blood bank nurse. Believe me, it borders on the worse of the worse. But, you know ...
  2. Viviana, you said it best. you were short, to the point, and quite exact. It could not have been explained any better. Kudos to you!
  3. I agree with carliotta3. I am a certified phlebotomist and am IV certified. However, I am not aware that phlebotomists can do arterial sticks since that is something that as much as I know can only be done by MDs. I saw a laboratory technician get ...

  5. First week of class wasn't what I expected.

    Hello Mrbojangles255, Welcome to the club. I truly believe most if not all nursing schools are like that. The one I went to was like a piece of 1960 that actually survived and was alive and well in 2006,07,08. It was disgusting to say the least. ...

    Hello Jock, The interview sucked! For the second time I have been discriminated on. The first time, the discrimination was about age. How I wouldn't know how to use a computer ( even though I pointed out that I was a college graduate, etc). Also,...

    Hi Calico5, Reading your post was almost like reading about my own experience. I am 55 and graduated from school last year. Soon after passing my nclex I got a per diem job (horrible) working for a blood bank. I also, was injured when I was forty ...

    Thank you, thank you so much, LPN e2010. It's what I was planning to do over this Labor Day weekend. I had already told myself, as a matter of fact, I wrote it down so that I won't forget- to review immunizations, where to place the vaccinations to p...

  13. Frustrated New RN looking for first job

    Hello, I am glad you set the record straight pertaining to this false info. I went there to the Manhattan site I interviewed and because I am a new nurse they barely gave me the time of day. So, when I read this post afterwards I just ignored it. Per...

    Hello Smiley, Thank you for your response. You are correct about applying across the country. I did apply for a position in Arizona (although it was not a typical RN position in the hospital, instead it was as a Blood Bamk RN -blood drives) and, al...
